Committee to coordinate with sustainability group on gas-powered leaf blower proposal

Smart Growth Committee · September 10, 2026

Summary

The Smart Growth Committee tabled further action on gas-powered leaf blowers and said it will work with the sustainability committee to draft a proposal addressing prior questions and concerns.

The Smart Growth Committee revisited a repeat agenda item on gas-powered leaf blowers and agreed to work with the sustainability committee to prepare a draft proposal that addresses the questions raised at prior meetings. Chair Jerry Sopaniak said the sustainability group raised points the committee would incorporate and indicated members did not see the concerns as insurmountable.

"We did meet with the sustainability committee, and we are going to work together to come up with a proposal to draft a proposal," Sopaniak said, and the committee tabled the item pending that collaboration. No public comments were offered and the item will return to the committee after the sustainability team provides feedback.
